Ephesians 3

1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
Compare verse
2 If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Compare verse
3 How that by revelation he made known to me the mystery; (as I wrote before in few words,
Compare verse
4 Whereby, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Compare verse
5 Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Compare verse
6 That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Compare verse
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power.
Compare verse
8 To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Compare verse
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Compare verse
10 To the intent that now to the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Compare verse
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Compare verse
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Compare verse
13 Why I desire that you faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Compare verse
14 For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Compare verse
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
Compare verse
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Compare verse
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
Compare verse
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
Compare verse
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.
Compare verse
20 Now to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Compare verse
21 To him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
